Default 2009 IS250 vs. 2007 IS250 Model

All,

I finally picked-up my IS250 with F Sport Package. Let the modding begin...WHOO HOO!!! IS is awesome!! I will post pics as soon as installations are done. Lexus dealer did not have all the parts.

Now I need to have aftermarket body kit installed. Having said that are the front and rear bumpers different from 2007 model? I definitely will buy the Siebon CF rear bumper (if they fit), and I'm still debating which side and front to get...right now, WALD comes to mind.

Thanks for confirming. How about the trunk? Is that different as well? Because I want to buy Seibon Carbon Lip TS.

As for the exterior of the 09 the only differences are the front/rear bumper, side view mirrors, grill, and tail lights. That's all I can think of now. As for the trunk, the exterior remains the same.

I believe the only kit available for the 2009 model right now is Wald, Toms, and GFX.

No problem

Not sure if they sell Seibon but www.l-tunedparts.com is a great website

and our classifieds section - https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is2...assifieds-173/

Theres a Seibon CF trunk for sale in California for pickup you can look into.
